Question

chorus: you honor thebes, our city, above all others, you and your mother blasted by that lightning strike. and now when all our people here are captive to a foul disease, on your healing feet you come across the moaning strait or over the parnassian hill. what does the passage reveal about the beliefs of the ancient greeks? they believed the gods were powerful enough to rescue them. they believed the gods despised them. they believed the gods inflicted disease on them. they believed the gods lived in thebes.

Explanation:

The passage shows the ancient Greeks calling on a divine - like figure (implied by the description of coming on "healing feet") to help with a disease. This indicates they believed gods were powerful enough to rescue them from their suffering. There is no indication that gods despised them, no clear statement that gods inflicted the disease, and no evidence that gods lived in Thebes.

Answer:

They believed the gods were powerful enough to rescue them.
